Screencast.com is a terrific tool for storing, organizing, and sharing files with others publicly or privately.  I have used it extensively for hosting and sharing screencasts I've created for my online courses via the tools Camtasia Relay and Camtasia Studio, also produced by TechSmith.  In terms of user interface, it would be nice to be able to click and drag files into folders vs. checking boxes next to the names of files and then selecting Move.  It would also be nice to move files without worrying about potentially breaking the link to a shared file.  But overall, this tool has worked reliably for me over several years.
